I did all this as you suggested. Nothing changes. Note:
1. After installing FSUIPC4 (as Administrator), when i try to launch FSX it shows splash screen and then FSX immediately exits.
2. If i move FSUIPC4_loader.dll into the MODULES folder, and then re-run the install, FSX will run normally. But no add-on shows. FSUIPC4 is not running.
What next? Frustrated. But hopeful 8-)

I've had to do a re-install of FSX (Windows 10) after a hard drive crash. I'm reinstalling FSUIPC4 (which I may have purchased previously), but having problems.
After the typical install, when I launch FSX it tries to start and then shuts down. It doesn't "crash"; it just exits with no error.
If I move the "FSUIPC4_loader.dll" into the Modules directory, FSX will launch. But no "ADDONS" option appears. Trying to run anything requiring FSUIPC gives the error of "FSUIPC is not running".
FSUIPC does seem to install into the correct directory (FSX root/MODULES). But no joy.
Here is my install log, and a copy of DLL.XML. The FSUPC.ini file is empty.

Bingo! That worked.
There was a lot going on here. When I uninstalled FSX and tried to re-install, there was an error about the installation services being corrupted. Had to run down the answer on that one. Also, something (apparently) was still hung up in the registry for my "c:\FSX" install that wouldn't let me install. I moved it to a new "c:\Microsoft FSX" and it installed. Then updated to SP1/SP2 (as you so kindly pointed out), re-installed FSUIPC. Back in business! So happy. Thought I'd lost FSX for a while.
Thank you for your time, patience, and kind advice. All sorely missed in today's world. Appreciate this, greatly. Back to the skies!
